Registering Conversion Plug-ins

Third-party formats must be registered before Windows Media Player can instantiate and use the conversion plug-in. To register your file for conversion, you must register the file name extension associated with your format.

The list of registered file name extensions is maintained as a set of registry keys. For details about registering third-party formats, see File Name Extension Registry Settings. The following table lists the registry value settings to register a third-party format for conversion by using a conversion plug-in.

Value Setting
Runtime 13
Permissions 8 (Permission for the library).
ConvertPluginCLSID The class ID of the conversion plug-in, in registry format.
